The purpose of this study was to examine guidance activities in an employment office and to explain the significance these activities have for the job seekers' way towards an occupation. The method used was literature studies and qualitative interviews with respondents in three categories: a manager, two workingmediators and three job seekers, all at the same employment service office. The results that emerged was that there are different kinds of guidance in the employment service, both in the narrow sense and broad sense. The different categories of respondents describe and define the guidance activities in different ways and have different descriptions of how these activities can help job seekers into employment. The conclusions drawn where that the manager sees everything on the employment service as guidance, workingmediators differ in their roles as advisers and counselors.

This report consists of two parts, out of which the first deals with the planning and designing ofa small house in the Swedish city of Huddinge, using the weather conditions of the Swedish cityof Malmö. The house has to be in accordance with the Swedish building- and constructionregulations, as well as with the limitations in energy consumption given.The house itself has to consist of at least two bedrooms, and blueprints of the house, variousconstructional elements, ventilation, sanitation and electricity have to be drawn. Calculations ofthese aspects also have to be made, to ascertain that the different parts function as they should,and that the dimensions are sufficient.The second part is called ?Allergy free home?, and investigates how indoor climate affects us,and whether it has changed during the last few decades. It also makes an effort to see whetherthe increase of allergies and asthma is correlated with possible changes in indoor climate, andwhether technical solutions might help to handle or even decrease the issues arisen.

This essay is an analysis of mythologies in the Swedish women´s magazine VeckoRevyn. The magazine?s own explicit purpose is to break down the unhealthy opinion of what beauty is in their industry today. By content and linguistic analysis the results of this study are interconnected to the beauty myth as it was established by Naomi Wolf in 1991. The goal is to pinpoint how VeckoRevyn?s question and answer columns construct relationships to their readers, and the mythologies that they maintain.

The purpose of this essay has been to study the different discourses that are expressed in social welfare secretaries? assertions when they assess cases with elements of honour-related violence, intimidation and oppression. To do so I have used a discourse analysis theory and technique, based on three qualitative interviews with social welfare secretaries. The interviews were focused on vignettes, which were all fictitious cases with various elements of honour-related violence. One of the interviews was a focus groupinterview with four participants, while the other two interviews were individual.

Inom operationssjukvård förebyggs postoperativa infektioner genom att operationspersonalen utför preoperativ handdesinfektion. Det finns två handdesinfektionsmetoder som rekommenderas att använda, Metod 1 för alkoholbaserad handdesinfektion (Sterillium) och Metod 2 för antiseptisk handdesinfektion (Hibiscrub). Syftet med studien var att studera och jämföra olika preoperativa handdesinfektionsmetoder inom operationssjukvård. Metoden var en litteraturstudie som baserades på 11 vetenskapliga studier. Systematiska sökningar gjordes i databaserna CINAHL och Medline samt via manuella sökningar.

Medicinska kontroller är relativt komplicerade och ibland behöver undersökaren snabbt hitta relevant information. Arbetsmiljöverkets författningssamlingar är inte lämpade för detta. Den föreliggande manualen, speciellt med Interuppkoppling, kan vara ett stöd och ett hjälpmedel för att snabbt uppdatera sig..

This paper examines the non-profit organization Friskis&Svettis in order to gain insight into whether governmentality is used and if it is being used in what way. Furthermore we analyzed the requirements and consequences that that may have developed out of this governance structure. To get answers to the questions asked in this paper, a qualitative approach has been taken by the use of interviews with officials at Friskis&Svettis Uppsala. The conclusions drawn from the survey is that there are factors that indicate that governmentality is used within the organization by way of the use of guidelines which can be seen as a technique to control individuals and point them in the desired direction, and the follow-ups that can verify that the guidelines are being followed by the officials. The guidelines and the follow-up have also been an organizational requirement.

To this day, battery of women is a global problem. The aim of this paper is to examine this problem in the country that is considered to be one of the most equal countries in the world, namely Sweden. How big a problem is it, what is the social outlook of the victim and how does the Swedish justice system respond to this issue? These are some of the questions that will help to form an answer to the question if Sweden is a sanctuary for femalebatterers.Due to the resistance of implementing the entire penalty scale and the use of judicial methods, such as restraining orders and its effect on the women, the conclusion drawn from the answers is yes - Sweden is that sanctuary. The Swedish justice system is not tough enough when it comes to the abuse of women.

This report presents the use of questions by both teachers and students in chemistry class. Both students and teachers have been observed during 24 lessons, both theoretical and practical. In addition, interviews have been made with the teachers and the students have answered a questionnaire. The result show that a high number of questions are asked, more than one per minute and that both teachers and students ask the same amount of questions. This contradicts earlier findings were teachers questions dominate.

Urban planning is not only a matter of architectural trends; it is first and foremost political. This thesis seeks to understand the links between political ideas and visions for the city and the physical structure of the city. The study aims to construct a model to help understand these links, a helpful tool in analysing a city, focusing on the one hand at the physical structure of what I call "The City as a Welfare Provider" and on the other hand at "The City as a Growth Engine". It also sets out to test this model in an empirical study of Stockholm and the soon-to-be built district of Norra Station in the same city.The analysis shows that Stockholm has ambitions to be a welfare provider to its citizens, but have also adopted to a discourse of interurban competition which stresses the importance for the city to enhance economical growth. What is interesting is that the physical structures promoted in the planning documents of Stockholm are nearly exclusively those associated with the model of "The City as a Growth Engine"..

Regeringen i Sverige har länge diskuterat ägarlägenheter som ny boendeform på den svenska bostadsmarknaden. Sedan den nya lagen som tillåter ägarlägenheter infördes den första maj 2009 har inga större förändringar skådats. Ägarlägenheter kan ses som en utveckling av bostadsrätten och en liknelse vid småhusägandet. Den stora skillnaden mellan en bostadsrätt och en ägarlägenhet är att en ägarlägenhet ger ägaren full äganderätt, medan en bostadsrätt enbart ger innehavaren full nyttjanderätt. Ägaren till en ägarlägenhet har rätten att hyra ut fritt i andra hand utan övriga boendes godkännande.

Summary The purpose of this research is to find out if technology is being used in pre-school activity, to what extent, in which way and what part the pre-school teachers believe they should have in the process. To gather information for the research, questionnaires were sent out to all pre-schools in a municipality in central Sweden. Based on that information two were chosen for observations and interviews. The work with technology in pre-schools may vary. Some pre-school teachers believe they do not adopt any technology at all when asked and all this because of their own lack of interest or knowledge, while others believe it is contained in all of their educational activities.

 Titel:                                   Rydaholmsmetoden ? förtjänster och kritiska punkter Engelsk titel :                     The Rydaholm Method ? benefits and critical points Författare:                         Anders Persson, Monica Aldrin Handledare:                      Christer Jacobson Antal sidor:                       58 Nyckelord:                         lästräning, motivation, ordavkodning,Rydaholmsmetoden, specialpedagogiskt perspektiv.Det här arbetet är en flermetodologisk studie med syfte att tydliggöra vilka förtjänster och kritiska punkter det pedagogiska arbetssättet Rydaholmsmetoden har. Arbetet innehåller två delstudier där den ena är intervjuer genomförda med pedagoger vilka i nuläget arbetar med metoden och den andra en intervention genomförd med fem elever i år två under fem veckors tid. Delstudiernas resultat redovisas var för sig. Metoden är framtagen av specialläraren Carl-Erik Pettersson som också har sammanställt det färdigproducerade arbetsmaterialet. Målet med Rydaholmsmetoden är att utveckla den del av läsningen som handlar om avkodning av skriven text.

Syfte:Denna studie syftar till att undersöka om, och i så fall hur, barns förmåga att skriva texter förändras när de får använda datorn som verktyg jämfört med när de skriver för hand, samt att analysera skrivförmåga utifrån ett genusperspektiv. I den kultur vi lever i idag är datorn en självklar artefakt för vuxna människor. Den är på väg in i skolan men har ännu inte blivit en självklar del av skolans kultur. Trageton (2005) förordar att barn borde få skriva sig till läsning men på grund av motoriska svårigheter att skriva och forma bokstäver för hand tar undervisningen ofta sin början med läsning istället. Detta väckte idén om att ta reda på hur datorn påverkar förutsättningarna för en god skrivutveckling.

Earlier studies of musculoskeletal problems with milkers working in milking parlour operators have shown that it is a physically demanding occupation. The extremities that are most exposed are neck, shoulders, hands and wrists. Those systems that have been studied in present cases are fishbone and some tandem barns. There have been changes in the working environment during the past ten years. The mechanisation has been developed for the better with automatically removers of the milking units and vertically adjustable floors in almost every daily milking barn. In other hand the milk production are more industrialised and more related to stress today.
